ALGAL BIOENERGY ROUNDTABLE<br />
9:05 Growing, Harvesting, Dewatering &<br />
Extraction: Getting the Whole Process Right<br />
• For efficient and cost effective production of algal<br />
biofuels, the whole process must be optimised and<br />
all steps are interrelated<br />
• The nature of the algae species dictates the harvesting<br />
and dewatering process which can be used<br />
• As the water must be recycled the harvesting<br />
options are limited<br />
• The oil extraction process will affect the degree of<br />
dewatering required<br />
